I recently started up playing this mod and have been enjoying it quite a bit. However, I just ran into my first problem with it.
If my understanding is correct the blushed with bloodshot eyes message is a high bloodpressure thing, and that if a dwarf with it suddenly falls over and doesn't get up in means they've had a stroke and are never going to get up.
Well, that just happened to a merchant. The combat report lovingly follows that falling over with something like 1000 message of him regaining consciousness, but there is no movement happening from him. So I'm guessing this particular merchant had a stroke. The problem is that he did this on his way to the depot, and I can't trade until he gets there because his friends are all still waiting for him. Oh, and he doesn't seem to be dying, probably because merchants don't eat/drink.
So what do I do now? Can I cure this merchant using dfhack somehow or something? Would just killing him with dfhack allow me to trade with the caravan?
But yeah, other than that great mod. I'm sure there is a lot I'm missing, but what I have used so far is awesome.
